Laws and regulations database

ASWB maintains information about social work regulations and license/registration requirements as a service to ASWB members and the public.

This online database includes reports that ASWB has developed to make social work regulation easier to understand, especially as there are variations across states and provinces. These reports allow you to compare multiple jurisdictions and export the data to an Excel (XLS) spreadsheet for further analysis.
